I have tried to setup for trial purposes the free version of EaseUS Partition Master - even in custom setup mode it resulted in half of GB(!?) of something (I haven't find a way to capture what that traffic originated from, Fiddler somehow didn't show me where this traffic came from, and I haven't had any browsers running so that traffic was for sure "fired" by EaseUS setup: I have a GSM modem and I have traffic volume monitor on) getting downloaded during setup/post-setup, it also proposed to setup AVG Tune, I rejected but it anyway installed *not declared during setup settings phase* WinZip 18 as well as  Todo Back Up and Tray Popup, the latter two seems to be part of the EaseUS Partition Master. I have got everything removed from my system. Hopefully I have cleared them all well. Be careful. BTW, EaseUS is from a Chinese company.

Thank you.

>I'm thinking of replacing the very slow (5400rpm) 1tb hard drive in my laptop with a much faster SSD, sacrificing some storage space (that I don't really use anyway). I can do the mechanical part no problem, but how do I move the Windows 8.1 installation from one drive to another without breaking anything?
